KAMPKEEPER Portable Fire Pit, Outdoor Tabletop Firepit 18 Inch, 304 Stainless Steel Wood Burning Fireplaces, Collapsible Pop Up Fire Pit for Outside, Included Heat Shield for Leave No Trace Fires

Absolutely amazing! The portability and the ease of use are a 10 out of 10 for sure!!! I bought this to use in a friend's backyard during the summer time this year and it was one of the best purchases I made all summer! We were we able to enjoy a beautiful fire on summer nights and soak in that beautiful camp fire smell and enjoy a great time of hanging out! I would just say, If you are planning on using this on grass, then you may want to consider purchasing a fire resistant / proof mat so that you don't singe the perfectly green grass underneath 😅. All in all, it is a phenomenal purchase and I've already recommended it to several friends. One of which who has already purchased it and used it as much as I have.

I really needed a portable firepit. I am very pleased with how easy it was to set up and it handles fire beautifully. I was even able to do some cooking in it. The ash catcher at the bottom worked great for baking ash bread. The thing that surprised me the most was that even with a blazing fire, I can grab the bottom of the legs with my bare hands and move the whole fire pit. Once cooled, the whole things packed away nicely. Love this thing.

This portable fire pit is surprisingly light and very easy to assemble. The quality of the materials appear to be very good however, please note that the metal windshields can be a bit sharp on the edges. The clean up is also very easy as you simply need to just pour out the ash that catches in the fireproof touch bag. Taking everything apart and putting it away is also very easy. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight but practical fire pit for when you go camping or doing day trips. I believe this is extremely good value for the cost. The way this unit becomes so small once packed is way superior over the larger fire pits that just take up room in the back of your car.

So far I tried it for just one small fire with small sticks and charcoal, but already I like it a lot. I've tried a few other portable fire pits over the years, and so far this is my favorite. It ticks all the boxes for the features I want: collapsible/foldable; affordable price; good air flow from beneath (for efficient burning and reduced smoke); ash catcher below; able to lift the firepit (for relocating / repositioning) by holding then lifting the bottom of the legs (can't do that with many other fire pits); good overall size for a small group of people and solo users; not too heavy for transport (I had another fire pit of similar size and price but twice as heavy). The removable heat shield which doubles as an ash catcher worked nicely, although it can get messy when it's time to dump it out if you're clumsy. I noticed the fabric doesn't seem to be entirely fireproof, as there are tiny spots of slight brownish discoloration after just one use, likely from occasional hot embers that touched it. Some drawbacks that keep it from a perfect score: The ash catcher won't catch all the ashes if you're in a very windy place, so choose your location and positioning well. Also, the four flat panels and the ends of the pole parts are somewhat sharp. Someone else mentioned this in their own review. When I got mine, I used a small metal file to smoothen out the sharp edges of both ends of the four vertical poles, and it helped Mae them safer to touch. When I have time I might do the same for the long edges of the four panels. Nevertheless, I recommend moving slowly and carefully when handling the parts, to avoid accidentally cutting your fingers. Speaking of machining, as some have mentioned the quality control can be a bit wonky. When I got mine, the three mesh panels weren't connected well to each other. There are little cheap circular rings that connect them to each other, but a few of the rings were bent too much into open positions. I had to use pliers to bend the rings into the proper closed positions. Another somewhat "drawback" is that the firepit is not optimized for cooking, so you'd really just use it for making a campfire. It doesn't come with a dedicated cooking rack the way other fire pits do. The official description even states that this fire pit is not meant for cooking. I'm wondering if the fire mesh (upon which the wood lays on) isn't strong enough for very heavy pots of food, or if its prone to melting from very hot coals. I did manage to successfully heat up stew on a small pot using an additional small rack with its own legs (see pic), with some bits of homemade charcoal. The place had a constant breeze so the charcoal got plenty of oxygen to burn hot, yet the metal mesh held up well. The dedicated carrying case is pretty good, although I wish the handles were made of a stronger material. (I had a bad experience with these types of thin fabric handles eventually falling apart, for another fire pit brand.) All that said, it's very tough to find a perfect fire pit. This is my favorite so far for an affordable portable fire pit, but I'll still keep an eye out for new products on the market.

Fire pit worked great. Grate is a little thin but held up with a decent fire. Very sturdy. I did return it because the bag ripped. We will see how the next one is but I give 5 star for the pit itself
